Hi! I'm 44, not quite ready for a facelift. I've been considering Thermage, Fraxel and Morpheus as lasers to soften the lines around my mouth, loss of volume and jowls. Would any of these help lessen the appearance?? I've done Sculptra and Morpheus once last year. I'm open to any treatment but I feel like doctors I've consulted are pushing what they offer, and I really want to do what's best for my situation. Would love to hear any recommendations or treatment suggestions. Thank you!! MC

Answer: How to treated aged skin around mouth… Thank you for sharing your questions and posting your photos. It appears that you would benefit most with fillers and erbium laser resurfacing around your mouth. The deeper folds would improve with the fillers and the lines would improve with the laser.

Answer: CO2 resurfacing laser Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. For addressing deepened lines around the mouth and jowls, CO2 laser resurfacing is often considered the most effective treatment. This laser targets the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production and promote significant skin tightening and rejuvenation. By removing damaged outer layers and encouraging the formation of new, healthy skin, CO2 lasers can effectively reduce the appearance of deep lines and sagging in the lower face. Another valuable option is Erbium YAG laser, which also focuses on resurfacing but is generally less aggressive than CO2 lasers, making it suitable for those with more sensitive skin or those seeking a gentler approach. Both treatments can lead to substantial improvements in skin texture and firmness, though CO2 lasers typically provide more dramatic results but with a longer recovery period. I hope this helps and best of luck!
